"Lovely school and great values!"

We've had our daughter at Kidsgrove Secondary for a year now and we're so impressed with the friendly staff, excellent facilities and the emphasis on the 'KSS Core Values'. The school's digital strategy is also brilliant, our daughter loves using her iPad to learn!

"Excellent school and amazing staff!"

We moved to a new area and our daughter started at Kidsgrove Secondary last year. We were a bit worried about leaving our old school behind, but the staff and teachers at Kidsgrove have been so welcoming and supportive. The school's ethos is really inspiring and we're confident that our daughter will thrive here.

"Good school, but could be better"

Our son has been at Kidsgrove Secondary for a few years now and we've had mixed experiences. The school's technology facilities are great, and the teachers are generally friendly. However, we've noticed that the school could do more to support students with SEN.
